I had lunch at RIvoli's with my team (all women) in July of this year. Although the owner was very friendly and chatty, the waitress that served us was wearing completely inappropriate attire, a maxi dress that was clinging to her figure and it was...evident she wasn't wearing ANY undergarments (read: you could see everything). Being a group of women, we were uncomfortable, and a little surprised, as Rivoli's seems to be a very upscale place. I had a salad which was absolutely sub-par for the prices we paid for our food. The other ladies I was with reported that their meals were good, but mine was sparse, a few tomatoes and chopped veggies on some lettuce. I could have easily made it at home. The dressing was also not very good. I was very disappointed in this restaurant and would never go back.

The food at this restaurant was delicious. The Ribeye Medium Chicago style was especially good. The ambiance was nice, but it wasn't very kid-friendly as there were no highchairs. However, the server was accommodating and served the kids' meals first. The only side options were Mac and Cheese, which was tasty. Our favorite sides were the scalloped potatoes and creamy corn.

When you step in this place, you'll be greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. Soft music plays in the background, and the lighting is low and intimate. You'll feel like you've stepped back in time, to an era when fine dining was an art form. The decor has been carefully considered, from the vintage chandeliers to the plush upholstery. You'll feel relaxed and at ease, ready to enjoy a wonderful meal. The extremely friendly staff will guide you through a menu of classic dishes with a modern twist, each prepared with care and attention to detail. Whether you're looking for a casual evening out or a special celebration, you’ll enjoy every detail of it. After you're done with your sumptuous meal, and you're feeling full and satisfied, the server approaches your table, and asks if you'd like to see the dessert menu. What do you say? Yes, of course! So, the server brings the dessert menu, and you're faced with a mouth-watering array of options. From rich chocolate cake to delicate crème brûlée, there's something for every sweet tooth
